Risqué!
Risqué!
This warm-toned red is bright and beautiful but can be worn bold with more than one coat. It has orange undertones in it vs. blue undertones (like Red Apple Red). If you have warm or neutral undertones, and don’t want a red that turns pink on you – this is the color for you. Risqué is a creamy and moisturizing lipstick, that wears to a matte finish with no shimmer.

This is the first time I have ever been able to wear red lipstick, and my husband loved the look. I am going to order every shade of red you have, I think. 62 years is too long to not be able to wear, red lipstick.😊
- SMSusan M.Verified BuyerReviewingRisqué!I recommend this productWhat's your age range? 70+What's your beauty style? ClassicRated 5 out of 5 stars11 months agoAnother winner for me.
Having many allergies as well as Sjogrens limits my lipstick choices severely. Great there are some products without my dreaded chamomile, sunflower and beeswax. Please keep some formulas free of these ingredients so that I can keep using lipstick!
- DBDonna B.Verified BuyerReviewingRisqué!I recommend this productWhat's your age range? 50-59What's your beauty style? NaturalRated 5 out of 5 stars1 year agoI love this lipstick
I didn’t wear lipstick for many years, since I have scar running through my upper lip that makes my lips a little crooked and also because I have celiac disease and it’s hard to find gluten free lipstick. After discovering Red Apple lipstick, I decided to try it. It goes on so smoothly, has no unpleasant flavor, and using the lip brush helps me even out my lip by the scar. I don’t think I’ve ever worn a lipstick this bright before, but I love it! And I no longer care if bright colors make my crooked lips more noticeable, it’s just that fun of a color!

Beautiful true red, but not too red. I like red, always have.
Great color to keep in my collection. I think I have one of each color.

Risqué is a beautiful red that's neither too cool nor too warm, and bright without being super intense. I find it a very cheerful and flattering red.
